For Brian and others who don't believe that prebuilt glibcs for all
kind of CPU
architectures really do exist, some URLs will follow, from a single
archive alone
first :
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/debian/pool/main/g/glibc
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/eldk/4.0/
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/6
Debian has Linux ports for quite many CPU architectures, including ARM,
MIPS, m68k,
hppa, x86, ia64, x86_64, sparc, s390 and powerpc. Ubuntu has not for so
many, ELDK
has for ARM, MIPS and PPC and Fedora for x86, x86_64 and PPC. The Open
SuSE 10.1
i586, x86_64 and PPC glibcs can be found for instance via :
http://suse.inode.at/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/suse/
The Linux/FRV and Linux/AM33 toolchain distros can be found at least via :
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/linux/mirrors/redhat/redhat/gnupro
The Linux/m32r and Linux/SH stuff can be found via :
http://www.linux-m32r.org/
http://www.sh-linux.org/index.html
For which CPU-variation of Linux one yet cannot find a prebuilt glibc to
be used
during bootstraping?
